My son has an iMac with 10.4. When he attempts to print but changes printer to do so, the application quits. Does your freeze occurs after selecting another printer or re-selecting your printer?

Note that the Printer Setup Utility now has a 'Reset Printing System' option under the "Printer Setup Utility" menu. If you use it it may reset everything and then you can then re-add all your printers, hopefully fixing the problem in the process.

Have fun,
